The first edition in English of Frederick Engels Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844 was published in 1885 in the USA. In 1892 a British edition published by Swan Sonnerschein of Paternoster Square, London came out with Engels’ 1892 preface. I have a lovely issue of that book.

I am offering it for sale by auction which will close on 30 April 2012. Bids in excess of £125 may be made to gerrard.sables@phonecoop.coop or phone 0845 3138397. One half of the accepted bid will go to help the Morning Star.
